The Anti-enlightenment Tradition
Author: Zeev Sternhell
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300135548
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
In this masterful work of historical scholarship, Zeev Sternhell, an internationally renowned Israeli political scientist and historian, presents a controversial new view of the fall of democracy and the rise of radical nationalism in the twentieth century. Sternhell locates their origins in the eighteenth century with the advent of the Anti-Enlightenment, far earlier than most historians. The thinkers belonging to the Anti-Enlightenment (a movement originally identified by Friederich Nietzsche) represent a perspective that is antirational and that rejects the principles of natural law and the rights of man. Sternhell asserts that the Anti-Enlightenment was a development separate from the Enlightenment and sees the two traditions as evolving parallel to one another over time. He contends that J. G. Herder and Edmund Burke are among the real founders of the Anti-Enlightenment and shows how that school undermined the very foundations of modern liberalism, finally contributing to the development of fascism that culminated in the European catastrophes of the twentieth century.

Ernest Renan
Author: Richard McClain Chadbourne
Publisher: New York : Twayne Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Authors, French
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
The order of presentation, through Chapter 4, is roughly chronological. The amount of space given to the analysis of his youthful works (Chapters 1-4) is justified by the fact that he is one of those authors whose major ideas and themes, a long-time ripening, are constantly being hinted at or foreshadowed in his early writings, before finding their happiest expression in his maturity. In Chapters 5-8 the treatment is more thematic than chronological. In Chapter 5, chronology is discarded in order to survey the whole of Renan's major historical work. This is the central chapter, just as history was Renan's central and most revealing accomplishment. The writing of history for him, while retaining its claim to be partly a science, which examines an object of knowledge distinct from the self, is also a means of expressing his own personal dialectic, through what becomes a kind of symbol of his inner world. Of his essay collections little is said in this book, taking the liberty of referring the reader to Ernest Renan as an Essayist. Chapter 6 does contain, however, a discussion of his political (in the broadest sense) essays and speeches, though from a different point of view than that taken in my earlier book. Chapters 7 and 8 analyze his other major productions-philosophical dialogues and dramas, and autobiography-in such a way as to reveal how they grow out of youthful roots.
